If only the ritual at the gate was clearer... We actually never see Miquella or Marika enter the gate. Miquella comes forth when Radahn "calls" him, and Marika might be called back by Radagon in the trailer. But why does the lord's soul need a vessel?

All the videos are amazing, I just have one question there’s a picture of Ranni in this video, but I’m having a hard time finding the spot where Ranni is at. I kind of wanted to know his theory on how Ranni fits in all this.

Could the gods that the gloom eyed queen was hunting be the titans? The giant corpses strewn around the lands between.

Ya know I really WANT to watch smoughtown but something about his droning and lack of direction deters me every time. This is much more definitive to follow with hard points to ‘anchor’ my thoughts to. Presentation is everything

16:02 anyone else kinda wish that in the remembrance store you could purchase the grafted parts of godrick? To clarify I mean you could purchase the extra grafted limbs as armor and then have the head band too. Also that the grafted limbs would either give a bonus to hp or to weapon speed with colossal weapons.

16:49 Godrick is not of marika's children

I love this take holy hell!! 🔥 I am still with Smoughtown that Melina is the Gloam-Eyed Queen, but I love the different takes about the Gloam-Eyed Queen

I can’t seem to get any conclusion other than that Marika/radagon/Gloam eyed queen was exacting vengeance against the race that enslaved them, then against the gods that forsake them, and finally against the world that entrapped them…. Each act of creating a demigod had a purpose to ultimately attempt the best suicide plan against the world with countless and countless of fail safe. It would seem that the pain was too hard… but too hard on themselves only. They attempt to destroy the erdtree from its roots by deathroot, then with fire and death, ultimately leading to anything that had persecuted them dead. Finally, she also ensured a fail safe for the new world through miquella and his plans… and with Melina and Ranni as the overseers of never letting the world succumb to the atrocities they fell into.

Everyone is marika

8:47 statue. Is Ranni, before she stole death. She made it all the way up the clergy. To the top kahuna himself! Gurranq. Who was in hiding of the rune itself. It was indeed prophecised... that he woukd be the death of the gods. He was indeed...

Maybe marika being "many but one" is in part what allows her to be both radagon and marika all at once. Maybe her being a successfully fused jar saint allows her to "fuse" with anyone she wants. I doubt she chopped radagon up and put him into a jar or anything but it probably grants her powers of assimilation of some sort

17:38 Have you noticed that "outside" the gate its dark like purple and "inside" bright like golden and between those the flesh.It seems to me almost as the colours of an Eclipse where Sun and moon unite and since Marika is a Shaman that might be the moment she unites the GEQ with herself to get divine and then lock her in the eye of Melina.

Hahah, GREAT video!! I really really agree, it took until minute 36 to convince me! So cool to see you put forward this 1 year ago. Let me ask you; Did you feel strongly about these themes when exactly? @ What point in the game so to speak? - Excellent work. I feel like a lot of the biggest lorevideos are too simplistic, this feels more akin to what is really going on, the abstraction level had not been thoroughly examined, until now.

George just couldn't resist could he? I mean incest,blondes and redheads...... You could just tell he had something to do with this shit.......

Who trapped Marika in the Erdtree then? Radagon?

Forget the Elden Ring this introspective is a masterpiece

To me it must’ve been the key figures in her lifetime: Her father figure Godfrey , Radagon her brother older brother figure in the real world then us the actual pc who she finds a therapist relationship with or ends up putting her on the right road. Depending upon the ending we choose.

Radagon is a clone of godwyn created by the greater will channeled through marika.

I rather agree with the theory that Marika was the GEQ

Nothing we haven't seen before in other medias. Marika has the power to split parts of her conscience and manifest them into material form, split and merge as a matter of fact.

I have yet to meet anyone who could even compare or argue against my personal theory that Gideon is actually Ranni, Miquella is the Gload Eyed Queen's uncle, Malenia is secretly married to Radahn, Blaidd is Rykard son, Godwyn is a turtle, Marika is the erd tree and Miyazaki and Martin are actually brothers. Oh and Godrick is trans.

I wish the sound didn’t keep cutting out in this

Amazing analysis. Dots connecting masterpiece!! Thank you. But one thing is still unclear to me - how does Radagon fit this concept? Did he replace GEQ’s personality in the process of Marika trying to repress unpleasant memories of the horrors she brought upon the Land of Shadow? He seems like a direct opposite of GEQ’s chaos as he is pursuing perfection… What do you think?

As I recall it, Miyazaki said in an interview, that "the eldenring represents metaphysical concepts". We, the player, experienced, that the Eldenring is real inside the game and exercises great influence over the Lands Between. Does that mean, that the metaphysical concepts represented by the Eldenring have a real influence? Does the metaphysical become the physical in the Lands Between? And if yes, which ones? What I want to argue is: the metaphors aren´t just metaphors. They are indicators of where and how the metaphysical takes shape, or in other words: They are hints to which metaphysical concepts have a physical representation. This begs the question: Is the reality in the game based on or mixed with metaphysical concepts, which became physical? That would also leads to the question: What if it´s not just the Realm of Shadow, that is a "realized metaphor", but the Lands Between as a whole?

We are not all of African descent that was debunked some years ago

Excellent video, agree with some, disagree with other.

So the Numen are the Maiar of Elden Ring. The Maiar could take physical form and become a spirit again at will, however they become attached to their physical form and fall in love with earthly pleasures. So much so that Sauron divested himself of everything and all of his power as a Maiar, to manifest his will on Earth and took such drastic actions like creating the One Ring to sustain himself there, despite always having the option of returning to the Halls of Mandos for a respite. (Gandalf also refused to return to the Halls of Mandos when he died to his wounds from the Balrog) I'd say that the Elden Beast would BE Marika, as her spiritual form actually.

Talk about brain damage so we the tarnished need to fix merika helping her heal facing her trauma head on and we’re her therapist.
